Course reviews

Classic course. A little higher elevation than the rest of the Phoenix area so often a few degrees cooler/tolerable. Some great tosses to be had here, with a many chances to toss it in the drink. Not to be missed if in Phoenix.

Nice course! A number of holes were uncomfortably close to very busy sidewalk, and benches overlooking the pond/fountain. Loved the Mach X baskets though, all shots that deserved to end in the basket did just that! Compared to any other Arizona course, this one was the best, but I happened to be spoiled by some fantastic Michigan courses and all things considered had to go A-......will definitely be back and play much smarter next time!:)

Love the new baskets and alternative layouts. Still some tough pin locations by water's edge, but very cool. The folks at the FHDGC have done a great job with this course.
The wind here is always weird, with the low elevation and the surrounding hills, so a good shot can easily go wild. The fountain itself can cause some strange air currents, with the temperature changes when it goes off, aside from the temperature changes due to the water temps.

Bring some old discs that you don't love for the first few outings, as you will lose a few. Maybe buy some used plastic at Spinners before heading over. A golden retriever is a must.
Lots of duck poop - I always bring another pair of shoes for the ride home.
Very fun course, will be challenged, no matter your skill level. ‹ less text

Flew into Phoenix this morning and the first thing I do once I check into my hotel room is go play a round at Fountain Hills DGC, a course I've been eyeing since I found out I was coming to Mesa, AZ. Course was absolutely amazing. Somewhat wide open at times, but that's no one's fault. Course plays great around the lake, and the fountain makes it even more memorable.

Navigation could be better, luckily I had a course map on my phone though. Only con on this course is people pic-nicing right on the tee-pads/basket locations. Or tying their dogs to the basket and pic-nicing there. So once again dude, if you're reading this, sorry if I interrupted your romantic picnic with a spike-hyzer of an ace run... ‹ less text

I heard one of the pro's at the 2012 Memorial refer to Fountain Hills as the " Pebble Beach " of the disc golf world. I couldn't have said t better! Straight up gorgeous course with everything you would ever want . PERFECTION!

I'm from out of town and an average older player. I didn't lose any discs here, and I loved the course. The grass is nice, and I felt like my shots went further in the desert air (probably just my imagination). Lots of fun.

Big lake in the middle with the course going all the way around the lake. Most tee shots are wide open, but most baskets are guarded by 1 or more trees. The baskets were placed very closed to OB/water. Lots of foot traffic, but they didn't seem to mind the flying discs. No brush or tall grass, very well groomed. The only way to lose a disc would be to throw it in the water.
